Embellishing with Sabor

Thanks for joining me today!

Stephanie here and today's project is a beautiful pendant made with Sabor Papel images.

So, take a look below and see how I created it.

My previous post from two weeks ago was an altered cigar box / jewelry box / craft keeper.

I ended up adding a few more layers and I really love it. One of my fav's is the perfectly paired with Sabor fabric flowers that Altered Pages has. They are gorgeous and one of a kind! Also available are laces and trims

This will be the new home for the pendant I made today.

Here is the updated version showcasing my new necklace, which I am in love with btw!

Here is the original..

Now, to get going on that pendant...

I started out with two 2x2 Eco-Boards.

I hot glued a jewelry pin to the back of one board for

hanging and adding additional beads to the bottom.

Next, I painted the boards with black acrylic paint and a bit of bold and copper from my Gelato Metallic Lux Set.

Then, it was time to add a few fussy cut images from Sabor Papel.

I used images from this 12x12 Sentimentios Amor.

The front. Waiting & waiting for decoupage to dry. Dry...dry...please!

And, here is the back.

Next, it was time to attach the front and back. I added a bit of purple tulle to the middle.

I am not sure about this. It just might get trimmed away....we will see.

Here it is all put together with the chain added. This was a broken rosary. I would Never take one apart for craft purposes. This was broken and in a mystery goodie bag from an antique store.

I knew some day I would find a great use for it.

And, the beautiful new bobble in her new home.

I did give the purple tulle a trim after all and I think I like it better without.

You can be your own judge.

Thanks for joining me today.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
